Because the sign of the Cross is the mark of our redemption, Satan hates it. Demons flee from the sign of the cross when it is devoutly made. St. Cyril of Jerusalem (AD 386).

Having this print around is a great way to remind us that all we do in our life can be a prayer and we should be more intentional about that.

 

The Cross is the moving manifestation of the act of infinite love with which the Son of God saved humankind and the world from sin and death. For this reason, the sign of the Cross is the fundamental act of our prayer, of Christian prayer. Making the sign of the Cross – as we will do during the Blessing – means saying a visible and public “yes” to the One who died and rose for us, to God who in the humility and weakness of his love is the Almighty, stronger than all the power and intelligence of the world.“
— P. Benedict XVI (Angelus, 11 September 2005, Castel Gandolfo – Benedict XVI)

In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

The sign of the cross is itself a prayer.

If prayer, at its core, is “an uprising of the mind to God,” as Saint John Damascene said, then the Sign of the Cross assuredly qualifies. “No empty gesture, the sign of the cross is a potent prayer that engages the Holy Spirit as the divine advocate and agent of our successful Christian living,” writes Bert Ghezzi (author of The Sign of the Cross: Recovering the Power of the Ancient Prayer )
